Chocolate Pear & Pecan Crumble

Back before I was drawn like a moth to the flame that is London, I was just a small town girl – not living in a lonely world, but working in a theatre.

Obviously this type of work could bring with it amazing, adrenaline rush days where I was dropped into different scenarios with a lot of interesting challenges.

However, what nobody tells you about is the catering. I mean, holy crap, the food cooked up to fuel the artists and crew was just insane. Considering the touring chefs had to set up kitchens in a room resembling a broom cupboard and feed upwards of 40 people 3 meals a day, the food they whipped up was nothing short of miraculous.

One such miracle meal was a chocolate fruit crumble. A crumble…WITH CHOCOLATE. A chocolate pear & pecan crumble to be exact. I love crumbles – I mean, what other food has more comforting winter memories than a home cooked Sunday roast followed up with a helping of crumble and custard?

Sadly I never got the recipe from the chefs so my take on the chocolate crumble is a bit of an experiment from many different recipes I’ve seen over the years. I use pears as they’re the perfect combo with the chocolate and a little different to your usual apple and berry affairs. I also wanted to add a little crunch into the recipe so what better than my current food crush, pecans?
